Doof Festival 2017
For 13 years now as the winter slowly starts to fade away and hillsides turn green, the Doofers unite to celebrate the birth of a new spring.
Doof Festival is the longest running psytrance festival in Israel and one of the oldest world wide, as this year will see the 14th edition. The people behind it have been organizing parties in Israel for more than 20 years already, and this makes Doof one of the oldest psytrance party organizations in the world.

The last day of Doof Festival is known by Doofers as “The Soup” and we haven’t experienced a more intense dancefloor experience than “The Soup” in all our many years of dancing in parties and festivals around the world.
Doof Festival offers a super-psychedelic experience that will shake your body & soul. The festival’s crowd has a great passion and love for psytrance music and culture, and it is considered by many to be one of the craziest around. The 12th edition of the festival can serve as a good example for that, as the crowd danced madly in the rain on the last day, ignoring the non-stop rain that flushed the festival for 15 hours non-stop (a very rare occurrence in Israel).

Last words: Doof Festival is not for you if you’re spoiled or looking for chilled vacation. Doof is a hardcore psytrance experience. When you come to Doof you come to work! On your mind and body. All the way. We can say that every single time so far (all 13 of them) it was well worth it!
Doof Festival Location:
Held on one of the beautiful beaches of The Sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret), in the North of Israel. In a shaded eucalyptus tree forest. It’s a beautiful area with a very special atmosphere. Weather can get pretty hot some times so be prepared and make sure to bring bathing suits. The Festival area is quite compact and everything is a short walking distance away.
Music & Activities in Doof Festival:
The core of Doof is Doof Records music and artists, but Doof offers a lot more with a very diverse line up. Doof offers 2 main dancefloors . The main Doof dancefloor, oriented more on a full power psytrance experience and the Paganka stage, giving space to more progressive to techno beats. Both stages also offers some hours with psychedelic chillout and downtempo beats. On top there’s the Magaya stage, which offers downtempo, freestyle and instrumental music. Doof Festival also offers a safe kids area with lots of activities, fun and an all over safe zone for your little ones. You would also be able to find a lot of workshops in a myriad of directions, including Yoga, Massage and many other mind expanding activities.
